I'm a skating, coding, drumming, sailing, music loving, LP collecting, video making, Dutch 16 year old.
I ordered my first skateboard in November 2024 because I was interested in skate culture and my friend Seven had skated a lot. At first I just cruised (skate around without doing much or any tricks) but in March I visited a skatepark with some friends and met some really nice people there who helped us drop in and even start practising ollies. I'm currently trying to visit my local skatepark every day with an old friend of mine.
I love music. I listen to it for hours every day. I own LP's and CD's, and I listen to them on my sound installation in my room. I have an amp, a left, right and main speaker and a little subwoofer which I all thrifted and bought second hand. You can view my physical music collection on my Discogs page.
Coding
I started coding in february 2022, because I wanted to spice up me and my friends Discord server with a bot. So I followed a Python tutorial and made a really stupid bot. I kept doing this, making better bots and learning more Python with every coding session. I set up entire Court systems and made rather advanced moderation bots filled with stupid functions like linking channels together disguised as a phone call and I even tried to set up an economy.
Arachweb
In May 2023,
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
came out. That summer, I came across a lot of TikToks of
Photoshopped Tweets on Twitter (now X) simulating conversations
between characters of said movie. I decided to make that a
reality. I followed a YouTube tutorial and made a Twitter clone
made for the Spider-Men which I shared with my friends (which
would then roleplay as Spider-Men). It was active for a little
while but proved not built for a production launch; it was
really laggy. I tried debugging it and even continued it later
in 2024, but it still lies inactive waiting for new users.

Sailing
About every summer since 2020 I've been taking sailing at my local lake. In the summer of 2023, I got asked to follow extra classes before the season to be trained as an instructor. In the April of 2024, I passed those exams and gave sailing classes during summer break. Around June in 2025, I took some more classes in a different boat to be allowed to teach those too.
The Dutchies of Discord
In the end of 2023, I met a fellow Dutch Star Wars fan in an English speaking Discord server. We decided to make a Discord server specifically for Dutch people. It's a really tight community of kind people, and over time we've had a ton of English speaking members join too! If you're interested, you can join us at https://discord.gg/M4VeqKsytg. See you soon!
